Ontario passed legislation to protect amateur athletes by improving concussion safety on the field and at school. You can read more about it HERE.

Our government is dedicated to the health and well-being of all participants in amateur competitive sport and to helping all people in Ontario succeed and lead safe, healthy, and active lives.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of your BMBA Executive Members using the link found above under "About Us".
